Dear Fellow Floridian, Protecting the integrity of American elections begins with making sure only U.S. citizens can cast the votes that determine the future of our nation. Unfortunately, that is not guaranteed today. Texas just announced that it has removed 6,500+ non-citizens from its voter rolls, almost 2,000 of which illegally voted in past elections. Alabama and Virginia also announced earlier this month the removal of a combined 10,000+ non-citizens from voter rolls. This is a clear and present threat to our elections, but Democrats in Congress continue to deny the problem. In fact, they’ve ignored the problem since day one of the Biden-Harris administration when “Border Czar” Harris opened the floodgates to allow millions of illegal immigrants into our country. We cannot ignore this threat to our democratic process. I was proud to see my SAVE Act pass the House earlier this summer with bipartisan support, and have been fighting to get it done here in the United States Senate, but Senate Leadership and Democrats are dragging their feet every step of the way. That’s why I am demanding that when we pass a continuing resolution to fund the government in September, we include the SAVE Act as part of that funding bill. We cannot allow anything to undermine the integrity of our elections, and I won’t stop fighting to make sure your vote is protected and the Biden-Harris border crisis doesn’t rob you of your voice at the ballot box.

Senator Rick Scott, joined by Senator Marco Rubio and Representatives Mario Díaz-Balart, María Elvira Salazar, Michael Waltz, Neal Dunn, Byron Donalds and Carlos Gimenez, wrote a letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee supporting Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado as a Nobel Peace Prize nominee. In the letter, the members illustrate Machado’s remarkable contributions to restoring democratic governance in Venezuela, risking everything and facing endless threats to help the Venezuelan people elect a rightful leader with President-Elect Edmundo González. In stark contrast to the oppression, torture, murder, and economic deprivation at the hands of the Chávez-Maduro dictatorship, Machado’s peaceful leadership has become a beacon of hope and resilience for the Venezuelan people – a true embodiment of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Rick Scott Questions Intel CEO on Job Cuts After Receiving Billions in Taxpayer Dollars Senator Rick Scott sent a letter to Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger asking for answers on the billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars Intel received through the CHIPS and Science Act after the company announced it will cut 15 percent of its workforce. Senator Scott has expressed serious concerns for years that the flawed legislation would allow companies like Intel to gain access to and potentially waste U.S. taxpayer money without the Biden-Harris administration holding them accountable to metrics for domestic job creation, while the company continues to operate and grow in Communist China.

Ahead of the planned pro-democracy demonstrations in Venezuela, Senator Rick Scott released the following statement warning Dictator Nicolás Maduro not to harm or arrest María Corina Machado and to commit to a peaceful transition of power to president-elect Edmundo González. Tomorrow will mark one month since González defeated Maduro at the polls, yet the Biden-Harris administration still refuses to recognize him as the president-elect and make clear that they stand in total unity with the people of Venezuela. Senator Rick Scott said, “Dictator Nicolás Maduro is growing desperate as his power slips away and his threats against María Corina Machado must be taken seriously. Maduro must know this: I am doing everything in my power as a United States Senator to go after Maduro and his narco-regime with the full weight of the United States government. If he harms or arrests María Corina Machado or President-elect Edmundo González, there will be hell to pay. The Biden-Harris administration’s weak appeasement of the evil regimes in Cuba and Venezuela has allowed Maduro to keep his grip on power for too long. It is imperative to the national security of the United States, stability of the Western Hemisphere and fight for democracy in Venezuela that the Biden-Harris administration re-impose sanctions, recognize Edmundo González as the president-elect and rally the world to end Maduro’s tyrannical regime now.” Read more HERE.
